I actually really like this concept - and the B+W...just about everything: except that her feet look so awkward....something not quite picturesque about them: typical ballet pointed toes might have been more appealing. I think I would have given this a 10 if not for those feet...they almost turn the image into something of the burlesque - a kind of parody of "flying", which is a shame because this might have been genuinely beautiful.

fantastic image. Love the soft focus look. I would love to know more about this 'diffuse glow' filter.

Definitely a memorable pic for anyone involved.

love the line created by DOF

I also like the muddiness in the bokeh in the top left.

stunning shot.

Interesting. I see the basil leaves as a minimalistic approach to drawing attention to the rest of the pic. True, the pattern is quite random, I believe that this is perfect for the pic. It signifies that the pic is not about the basil and encourages you to look past. And when you do look past, you see that the picture is about shapes and contours, softness and flow. Really delightful.

One of the best shots I've seen in a long time.

I'd probably like to see a bit less color in the pic, but that's a side-issue. I think this might be worthy of a few different color treatments to see where it went.... A hue-shift to turquoise/cyan tones might be fun too.
